Capital Region Planning Commission
The Capital Region Planning Commission (CRPC) is a Council of Governments serving eleven parishes in Louisiana. Through planning and communication, CRPC coordinates and collaboratively addresses regional issues related to transportation, land use, economic development, and the environment. CRPC is the Baton Rouge area's designated Metropolitan Planning Organization, which each metropolitan area must have to carry out regional transportation planning efforts and receive federal highway funds.
As the regional MPO, the Capital Region Planning Commission focuses much of its resources on transportation planning issues and activities, which includes highway and transit planning, the regional ridesharing is one of eight sub-state planning and development districts which cover all 64 parishes in the state of Louisiana, providing technical assistance for economic development, comprehensive planning, and zoning to its members. Programs and services provided by CRPC are funded by local member dues, set by the commission and by contracts approved by the commission with any local, state, federal, private agency needing the assistance of CRPC staff.
